The semi-final sees the winners of Popstars - the show which inspired the Idol and X Factor franchises - crash out in 3rd place with a massive share of the vote! Hear'Say consisted of two guys and three girls - one later becoming Michelle Connor in Corrie and another being Myleene "white bikini" Klass. The gender ratio was very Steps-inspired and the group looked set for big success. 'Pure and Simple' sold over 549,000 copies in its first week to land at the top - where it spent 3 weeks in total before being replaced by Emma Bunton. Hear'Say would go on to have one more #1 and another two top 10 hits before permanently disbanding. It's a shame they never took part in The Big Reunion. That could have been some good drama/entertainment.

Yep, saw this top 2 coming before the round even opened!
I do like Umbrella (even if it cursed us with rain all summer) but this is an easy win for Pure Shores, one of the best girl group songs ever

Not at all surprised that these are the final two, it's got to be Umbrella to win though!!

This is quite an impossible choice as both are among my favourite artists of all time. I went for Pure Shores in the end.

Both are gold standard pop songs but I went with 'Umbrella'. I remember absolutely stanning the song and it really did tranform Rihanna from niche R&B act to a household name. Incredible song! But 'Pure Shores' is beautiful and definitely one of the best girl-group songs of all time!

Voted for Umbrella. Pure Shores is good but I feel like its very overrated on here.
